Prospective PhD Students: I am planning to accept a PhD student for AY 2026-27 in the economics and education program at Teachers College. Apply if you want to use the economics of education to study immigration or politics/political engagement and public schools. :-)

Even taking the admin’s justifications @ face value & acknowledging that stronger K12 outcomes might ⬇️ long-run demand for services, millions of adults remain outside that system. Public adult education is central to maintaining a key virtue of US public education, that it is a second-chance system.

Excited to see my work on high school equivalency credentials featured by @annenberginstitute.bsky.social. Today’s HSE grads are more likely than ever to use their credentials as an on-ramp back to formal schooling, and those who do earn post-secondary awards at higher rates than past cohorts. 1/N

Re-upping my advice about how to write a good title and abstract for an academic paper, appropriately called: "How to Write a Title and Abstract" Feel free to share this thread, which will focus on titles. #EconSky #AcademicSky

Beyond efficiency arguments for adult ESL (which are compelling), adult education is central to maintaining two of @lkatz42.bsky.social and Goldin’s virtues of U.S. public education: that it’s 1) a second-chance system 2) open to all learners. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Awarding credit for prior learning can help make colleges more welcoming to students who arrive via alternative pathways, but institutions aren’t meeting college-ready GED®️ graduates halfway. Check out my new op-ed on the GED®️ college readiness designations: www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

More awareness of GED as on-ramp to college needed (opinion)
Not enough, probably. Blake H. Heller argues that low awareness limits the potential of what should be a smoother pathway to and through college for high GED test scorers.

Looks like a paper that will change our understanding of charter schools and where they are effective!

Excited to see my recent work (w/@SaraRSands) covered in @meganmenchaca.bsky.social’s excellent piece on HISD’s failed $4.4b bond proposal. The Miles admin has a lot of work ahead of them to earn voters’ trust. Our survey expt suggests that messaging student growth in NES schools is persuasive 👇
